I have been around the world in 2020 and have done some travel in 2021. The research about mask being affective agents viruses all state it is not ment to protect or used for reducing the infection of any viruses. It's also not right to treat kids/people as if they are sick when they are not. Period

Parents should make this decision, not school boards.

Since the mandate is not supported scientifically... CDC has never been able provide peer reviewed studies supporting their recommendation that haven't been soundly refuted by the medical community... then masking should entirely be a parental choice.

I feel that it infringes on our basic rights and is in direct violation of The American with Disabilities Act.

This is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money and a slap in the face for all our hard working healthcare workers.

The Attorny General is on the wrong side of science and wants to unnecessarily expose children to disease. He is truly an embarrassment to the state.

AG is being completely political to Republican base. Not following science and wasting taxpayer money.

I have a grandchild in school. I think masking helps keep her and others safer than no mask mandate, and it may help keep students in the classroom, learning in person rather than remotely.

The AG should be disbarred... playing politics with public health for his own selfish gains. Our Healthcare system struggling to keep up with covid and this jack ass doesn't care if a human being needs real Healthcare in an emergency like a car accident or a stroke, heart attack. What selfishness.

1. Quarantines will increase once the mask mandate goes away this was proven in summer school. 2.Entrapment lawsuits later for students not being in school. 3.Child endangerment. 4.Kids in school with good educators is the goal. 5.More leave=less resources=less quality=lower standards=NCLBA failed.

I believe all children should be vaccinated before going with no mask. This is a catastrophic disease and they should be protected by mask. Attorney general needs to stay out of all schools policy and let them decide whats best.

Each school district should be able to make decisions based on the best interests of their students and their community as they battle Covid-19 and the Delta variant. With things changing on a daily basis one blanket mandate for the entire state cannot be affective. Residents know best not the AG.

Any possible precaution to keep our children safe should be required. It's absolutely ridiculous what AG is doing.

As a good Democratic Party voter, I will vote in both districts using mail in ballots and at least a few times in St. Louis, probably without me even needing to do anything. Vote early vote often!

@Max - Don't worry, I don't live in St. Louis, I just vote there.

All you have to do is just look at the new map. If you can't figure it out, you probably should not be voting.

Iran is playing Trump for a fool, dragging out the fake "negotiations" hoping to wear down the world's resolve and cling to power only to rise again more dangerous and powerful. History shows peace is won by bombing the other side until unconditional surrender. Look at World War Eleven for example.
